“This was our first time booking with Rhonda and she exceeded all of our expectations! She sent lots of photos and detailed updates after every drop in which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She always made sure to include pictures of all our cats, and even put in the extra effort to try and get a photo of our very shy boy, which meant so much to us. She treated our kitties and our home as hers and I appreciated it so much. When we got home, we were surprised to find that she had left us a sweet picture frame with all three of our babies in it. It was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture that really showed how much she cares. We could tell our pets were well loved and looked after and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. We highly recommend her!”
“I hired Sarah for weekend drop in visits. My dogs are a bit high maintenance and Sarah took good care of them. I got the report card check in on time the first night. The second day there was a bit of a delay on the report card check in but there was a issue with the app and not Sarah’s fault. She sent me pictures to make up for the app not working correctly. I’m happy with the service she provided for me and my four legged babies. I would recommend Sarah and will ask for her in the future.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs in my home since I was four which has given me great appreciation for their companionship and made me love caring for them. Today, I live with a senior age Alaskan Malamute, gaining hands on experience feeding, walking, assimilating to their daily routines, and providing loving support for my dog and hopefully yours too! I’m currently a university student with a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide you with attentive and reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for dog walking and drop in visits most of the week and most times of the day. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! When visiting your home, I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and any other requirements.
“Colleen was able to do a drop in visit very short notice for my dog, who can be nervous around new people and she did a great job! Really helped me out short notice which is so appreciated, and even sent me photos of my dog during the drop in visit. She responded quick and was very professional and kind. I will 100% be a repeat customer, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to dog sit.”

“Fantastic drop in dog sitter. Always on time for drop ins and provided great notes and feedback about how he was behaving, eating, going to the bathroom and interacting with her. She also provided some very helpful tips. Can't say enough good things about how she helped with my older and more challenging dog. Will definitely be relying on her for future drop in visits.”

I live in a spacious home as well which provided them room to play and eat.

“Erin watched my kitties on short notice and I'm very grateful. She was careful to follow instructions and even managed to give my stubborn cat medicine (I was semi-okay with him missing a dose, but ask her to at least try) and make friends with my very shy kitty. It was all very reassuring and I would definitely recommend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dearborn Heights
Nurra was wonderful with my two dogs! I made a last-minute request, and she was kind enough to accommodate it, which I really appreciated. She was professional, polite, and a great communicator throughout the drop-in visits. She even went the extra mile by taking the dogs for a walk. I felt comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands and would happily recommend Nurra to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
I can’t say enough about Safa! I had to leave on a 10-day trip, and I was so worried about my cat’s wellbeing in my absence. Safa stopped by before I even finalized my booking with her. She spent time with me learning about my cat’s habits and listening carefully to details to know how to handle her while I’m gone. During my trip, she was very communicative, kind, and helpful. Her commitment to show up at the designated times and ensure my cat gets fed and cared for made me feel at ease, and it surely made my cat happy and comfortable in my absence. I highly recommend Safa, and I can’t thank her enough for her service. Will definitely hire her again!
Shelly was absolutely exceptional with Tommy! 🐾❤️ She accommodated him in every way he needed and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. I felt completely at ease leaving Tommy in her care, which meant so much to me. She was attentive, caring, dependable, and truly awesome with him. If I could give her 6 stars, I would! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend Shelly and would definitely trust her with Tommy again. Thank you so much, Shelly, for taking such wonderful care of my baby! ❤️🐶
I recently started a new job, and was nervous about going into the office and leaving my buddy at home. Sheila has been absolutely AMAZING for my Mac. I come home to a sleepy dog, instead of an anxious dog. They've given me complete ease of mind, and I couldn't recommend them more!
Sarah took excellent care of my girls. This was my first time leaving them. They are independent young cats, but have not been left alone. Sarah came before for a meet and greet and to explain what she does during her visits. I received updates and photos as well. We will definitely be requesting Sarah in the future. ❤️
Sophie is the best! She was able to accommodate a last minute drop by for my dads cat, she was the only one in the area that helped me and I’m so grateful! She followed all instruction, made sure to give his cat some love and communicated very well. I highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dearborn Heights is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,161 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dearborn Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dearborn Heights. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
